Living Hell (2005)

One of my most paranoid ideas about an antagonist has always been a malicious and endlessly replicating growth which never stops until physically confined; and the danger it would face to humanity if allowed to spread in the open. 

No more waiting: Living Hell is a nice little number from the old Sci-Fi channel days when a terrible organism spreads uncontrolled into the human landscape, assimilating and killing relentlessly. With no ado, the story rails immediately into action, with a powerless military and a doubtful future for life on earth. 

The general plot is uninspired, with an uninspired and thin story development, a bunch of two-dimensional characters, their predictable survivals (and demises), but its aggressive pace and well-executed antagonist make for worthwhile mayhem. And if you’ve ever played Soma – you might be interested seeing the last 15 minutes to see something you might consider familiar! 

Rating: 5/10
